The limitation of the grant to 20,000 f. was carried only by 17 against 16. Several Opposition members were not present at the Council. Thus, a single suffrage has decided that Marshal Lobau was deserving of the pecuniary homage of the city of Paris.

RUSSIA., POSEN, Nov. 25.—We have received letters from St. Petersburgh, announcing that the recent arrests which took place there were not exclusively confined to officers of the Imperial Guard in that capital, but that they extended all over the empire. In the governments of Southern Russia and the military colonies the number exceeded GOO. In the city of Odessa alone, 123 officers hail been arrested, and removed to the fortress of Oral. It appears that the conspiracy just discovered had ramifications throughout the whole army.

BETTS, and CO. respectfully request their • friends not to postpone giving their Orders for the PATENT BRANDY beyond the 20th instant, as the multiplicity of orders from that time to Christmas, renders it impossible for them to re gulate their deliveries with hat punctuality which it has ever been their anxious wish to observe. The Patentees in consequence of the numerous imitators of the Patent Brandy avail themselves of this opportunity to state that the peculiar wholesome properties of their Brandy, attested by many eminent Chemists and frequently published since its introduction in 1829, are secured by Patent Right, which in itself forms a sufficient guarantee, if purchasers be careful to establish the identity of the article. The only Establishment of J. T. Betts and Co. is the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield.bars, leading to St. John-street, where the Pa tent Brandy may be had, either pale or coloured, in quantities not less than two Gallons, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, for Cash on delivery.

CLOAKS are composed of velvet and lined with satin ; the velvet is either black, or some rich dark hue; the lining should be either rose, green or yellow ; it is wadded and quilted, and in some instances turns over, so as to form a facir.g, but not a very deep one, on the fronts of the cloak ; an embroidery, either in the colour of the lining, or in small shaded flowers, encircles the border, and ends in a gerbe, which mounts ra ther high at each corner. The pelerine is pointed, is of very moderate size, and descends but little below the waist ; it is embroidered to correspond, as are also the bottoms of the sleeves, which are long and wide, but not immoderately so. Some were made with sleeves, which answers the purpose of a muff, and are, in fact, more comfortable ; they are wide and deeply trimmed with sable, so that when the arms are folded on the bosom, and the hands enveloped in the sleeves, the re semblance to a muff is perfect. SnAwt.s.—A new one has just been introduced, called chate lama ; it has come from the banks of the Ganges, and promises to become very fashionable; they are of a large size, and of one colour only, either green, groscille, Peruvian blue, ecru, or grey ; they are bordered with a galon, composed of gold and silver twilled, interspersed with acorns of the same. BONNETS.—VeIvet ones begin to appear, but the most de cidedly fashionable, as well as novel, are those of the drawn kind, composed of black crape, edged with niches of the same ; and the crown trimmed with black lace, intermingled with flowers. Bonnets are decidedly smaller, and those of the demi-bibi shape are in great request ; it is a pretty and be coming modification of the cottage form. HATs.—The brims up to the present time encircle the face en aureole, and the crowns descend low behind. Those of shot silk and velvet are a good deal in request. The favourite style of trimming for hats consists of an intermixture of fea thers, with either black or white lace ; the most novel fancy feathers are the marabouts argus. DINNER DRESS.—It is expected that furs will be very gene rally adopted in the trimmings of dinner robes. Some are trimmed en tuniqne, that it is to say, a rouleau of sable des cends from the waist on each side, and is turned back round the border at a considerable distance from the bottom ; the extremity of the skirt is finished with a broad flat band of sable ; the corsage, half high, is trimmed with a lappelle, forming a V, and edged with a narrow rouleau of sable, and the sleeves large at the lower part, and terminated by sable cuffs, have the tops confined to the arm by three narrow rouleaus of sable. TunaAN CAPS will be in very great vogue for dinner dress. Some are composed of tulle Sylphide, others of blond net, but the most elegant are of blond lace. The call is always low, and placed far back, the front small and light, is decorated with velvet flowers, placed on one side only. TURBANS will enjoy more than their usual vogue, both in dinner and evening dress. Those for social parties, of grena dine guaze, either plain or figured in rich full colours, and trimmed with a dyed bird of Paradise ; black ones are the most in request. The turbans for grand dinner parties are either of velvet trimmed with feathers, or of guaze embroidered in gold ; these last are decorated with esprits. EVENING ROBES.—The materials are extremely varied—. the richest silks, the most superb velvets and satins. India muslins, gauzes, and tulle, are all in request. The generality of velvet robes have no trimming round the border, but the corsages and sleeves are profusely decorated with lace. Some have short sleeves made a little full, the fullness arranged in oblique puffs, by very narrow bias descending from the shoul der piece. HEAD-DRESSES IN EVENING DRESS offer greater variety than we ever remember. The bonnet Clorinde is composed of black tulle or lace, with black ornaments, intermingled with o range ribbons and yellow monk's-hoods. The effect is exceedingly striking and original. More simple, but exquis itel y pretty, is the bonnet Rachel, which has nothing Jewish a bout it but its name ; the caul, small, and placed very backward, is compose of tulle Sylphide ; the front of blond lace, an extremely open ground, and very light pattern, is disposed en au reole round the film, and intermingled with small field flowers: this is one of the most generally becoming caps we have ever seen. BALL Dah.ss.-1 - leavy materials are decidedly hers de la mode for ball robes—tulle, gauze, mousseline de soie, and or gandy, all, be it understood, over satin slips, are the materials trimmed that will be in request thi s w i n t er . Some of the most eleg ant ball robes are composed o f tia ll e t r i m • with a deep flou nce of blond lace. floors AND TRAINS .—Their revival has been anno unced so often that we have hith erto g i ven very li tt l e cr edit to it, but Be are forced at last to admit not only that there is a strong probability, but even almost a positive pertainty, that as soon as the season has fairly opened both will be introduced in full dress. The first resemble, in no respect, those cumbrous machines of whalebone and beekrare, jo which our great grand mothers were encased ; they are light, flexible, and of moderate size, and are so construct e d t h at b y touc hi ng cer t a in springs a lady may raise oil lower he r h oop i n a moment . Trains, which arc certainty indispensable with hoops, are very graceful if properly managed. BALL HEAD-DRNISSES are o f h a i r , an d d ec id e dly low ; the antic= style is most pr eva l ent i n the ornaments o f fancy jewellery adoptqd for theni f Wreath s o f sma ll g old flowers and Venetian pins of gold, with t h e h ea d s enriched w i t h p re cious stones. Artificial flowers will t'so be very much employed both in wreaths and sprigs. The Marquis de Bassano, son of the Duke de Bassano, is ,been named First Secretary of Legation at Brussels. Lady Beresford and suite arrived last week at the Hotel Windsor, Rue Rivoli. Government," says the Sleek, " has just forbidden foreign armed vessels from enrolling French sailors to com plete their crews. This measure may become an obstacle to the Chili frigate, recently finished at Bourdeaux for the Chilian Government, on its leaving France. The Malta papers of the 10th ult. mention a violent storm, to which Admiral Sir R. Stopford's squadron was exposed on its return from Greece ; no vessels, however, were damaged. Captain Walker of the Vanguard had not returned to Malta, having been requested by the Capitan Pasha to remain on board his ship. The highest regulating price of corn in the markets of France, for the first fortnight of the present month, is on those of Paris, Rouen, Soisson, Bergues, Arras, and Roye, being 24f. 37c. per hectolitre (24 bushels English mea sure), and the lowest on those of Saumur, Nantes, and Marans, being 19f. 64c. The Bishop of Bardstown, in the United States, is at present travelling through France, and preached at Vesoul on the 28th ult. According to a recent statistical account the number of poor soliciting relief (pauvres-mendians) in France is up wards of 192,000, or about 1 in 60 of the whole population. The Commerce states that the indiscriminate articles of the Almanach Populaire for 1839, which are 12 in num ber, were written respectively by Messrs. T. Degeorge, Timon, Domes, Dubosque, Le Blanc, A. Billard, Alta roche, J. Bastide, Degouve-Denunques, Cabet, and two anonymous contributors. The offences imputed to the au thors of these articles were at first four in number :—ex citing to hatred of the King's Government ; exciting to hatred and contempt of the said Government ; exciting to hatred of the different classes of society ; and, finally, an attack upon property. These four offences have now been reduced to two—provocation to sedition, and to contempt of the institutions by which France is governed. The Prefect of the Department of the Lower Seine re fused to sanction a meeting to have been held at Rouen on Thursday last, to celebrate the anniversary of the Polish Revolution.

The Captain-Ge neral, I u nderstand, again pressed upon the Queen's atten tion yesterday, the necessity of appointing a Liberal Cabi net, in conformity with the whiles of the National Guard and the people of Madrid. There is little news from Seville. The Commissioner who brought the orders of the Junta to Cleonard to resign the Captain -Generalship at Andalusia, was ordered to be shot by him ; but the Junta in Seville taking the family of Cleonard into custody as hostages for the safety of the Commissioner, the sentence was not put into execution against him.

Bunoos, Nov. 22.—1 t is said that Don Carlos has caused the arrest of, and wishes to punish, Balmaseda, for having shot 52 soldiers of Salamanca, which was the cause of Espartero's shooting an equal number by way of reprisal. This system of reprisal has, it is also said, excited the at tention of Don Carlos.

HANoTI4 7 4 The King of Hanover 'according to a letter of the 25th ult. from Aremun, quoted by the Hamburg Corresrvidcnt) has refused to obey the order of the Germanic Diet to lay before it his reasons for aho4hing the Constitution, toga ther with the gr4ntAnces and other documents relating to this me asure ; and has disavowed the engagement entered into by hi s Representative, at the Diet, M. do Stralenheim, to comply with this resolution by a given day. This re fusal h as caused the delivery of severa l notes to King Ernest f rom the Cabinets of Vi enna an d ti,ellil-4, reminding his Majesty in serious and explicit :erms of the duties im posed up on hi m as upon the necessity of his fulfilling I\iember of the Germanic Confedera don, an d insisting up imme diately an d entirely the resolution in question ; inasmuch as both Austria and Prussia arc anxious fa; a, cessation of the excitement and disquiet created in Germany by the " I have heard from an unquestionable source that the Czar is alarmed in the highest degree at the spirit of discon tent prevailing among the Russian troops quartered in Po land ; that he has determined on replacing them by others, and has written to Field-Marshal Paskewitch an autograph letter, upbraiding him in harsh terms with having allowed the most pernicious doctrines to find their way into the barracks. It is believed that immediately after the mar riage of the Duke of Leuchtenberg„ General Paskewitch will be superseded in the government of Poland by eitier General 'Molls, Karjenisk. or Benkendorf. It is not pro bable, however, that the Czar will choose the latter, on account of his foreign extraction. " Before you receive this letter, the German journals will have informed you that the Russian General Rajewski had gained a victory over the Circassians and taken the fortress of Sotcha ; but these papers will not tell you that this vic tory was dearly purchased, or rather that the Muscovites suffered a frightful disaster without any victory. The Rus sian troops five times assaulted the fort, and were as often repulsed with slaughter. " After experiencing these checks, and sustaining a loss of 3,800 men in killed and wounded, General Rajewski wished to make a last effort to carry the place ; but his troops were so discouraged and demoralized that not a man comeated to march forward. The General then sent for five bAtalions of marines, who, after requiring and obtaining a promise that the fortress should be delivered up to plunder agreed to scale the walls. The assault took place at night, the marines gallantly climbed the ramparts, and entered Sotcha without striking a blow, or encounter ing the slightest resistance or obstacle. They only found in the place 20 pieces of artillery, spiked or broken, and about 100 dead bodies lying on the ramparts or in the streets. The Circassians had evacuated the fortress a few hours before, and destroyed whatever they could not carry with them. This is what the Russians call the storming of Sotcha.' The Emperor of Russia, after 1830, had constituted himself, in the eyes of monarchical Europe, the high priest of legitimacy. This mission suited at the time the policy of the Czar, but it was evidently a feigned part he was per forming, as, in her exterior relations, Russia hearkened always to the voice of interest, and never to that of prin ciple. Russia little heeds the means she employs in order to attain her end, which is the possession of the Dardanelles and the Sound. Since the Czar began to despair of arming the Kings of the North against revolutions, be determined o❑ trying what could be done by stirring up the revo lutions against Kings. Europe must be set on fire, to enable Russia to carry on her plans. We are not, consequently, surprised to find in the Augsburg Gazette a letter from Genoa, announcing that " a great Power of the North wns disposed to lend its as , istance to the party of Young Italy." Similar manoeuvres were resorted to in 1829 and 1830, at the time of the waa against the Ottoman Porte. At that period the Emperor Nicholas wrote to Charles X. to invite him to keep Austria in check, promising him as a return for that service to ob tain for France the restitution of her Rhenish frontiers. Nothing, consequently, appears more likely than that Russia will renew her intrigues in the Italian peninsula the moment that a good understanding shall have taken place between the Paris and Vienna Cabinets. It was by fomenting the Greek insurrection, and turning to her ae ' count the sympathy of Europe for the Greeks, that Russia was suffered to attack Turkey, and exact, first the treaty of Adrianople, and then the treaty of Unkiar 'Ske lessi, against which the Sultan energetically protested with out being able to cancel it. These facts should not be overlooked. Moreover, Austria, whose prudence is pro verbial, is already taking military and political precau tions."—.Siecle. BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE REFORM ASSOCIATION. Last night a special meeting of the above Association was held at the Horse and Groom, Great Portland -street, for the purpose of receiving a report prepared by the Com mittee—of discussing the question of Vote by Ballot —and of considering the propriety of holding monthly lectures. The meeting was very respectably attended. At nine o'clock Mr. Eldridge was called to the Chair. Mr. WAIL, Secretary, having read from the Morning Advertiser the notice convening the meeting, then proceeded to read the minutes of the last meeting, which contained the report of the Committee, suggesting the adoption of several measures for conducting a canvass in the borough, in the event of another contested election, as well as a petition to the Legislature for the repeal of the Corn-laws, which was submitted to the meeting for adoption. The following are the principal allegations contained in the petition : "That the petitioners observed with deep concern the recent advance in the price of corn, and the distress thereby occasioned to the industrial and labouring, population of the United Kingdom. " That under a wise and liberal system of trade peti tioners would submit to such a visitation as an unavoidable evil ; but they could not conceal from themselves, that the disastrou s effects of an unfavourable harvest were greatly aggravated, if not entirely occasioned by the laws restrict ing the importation of foreign corn—laws which sought to promote the supposed exclusive interest of one class of the community, by forbidding the application of the excessive prodae of neighbouring states to the relief of the wants and sufferings of the people. n That justice, sound policy, and humanity alike de manded that the principle of leaving commerce unfettered should be applied more emphatically to the particular trade on which the sustenance of the people depended than to any other. That the selfish and impolitic principles on which the Corn-laws were based, had called into existence in foreign countries, political leagues for the exclusion of British manufactures---had occasioned a great and increasing dimi nution in our foreign trade, and a consequent deficiency in the public revenue—had injured the cause of European freedom, by enabling despotic Governments to foment and cherish a feelin g of hostility t owar d s t h e people of this country, and had crippled the power and diminished the influence of Britain, by fettering the industry on which that power and influence depended. " The petitioners therefore earnestly remonstrated against the continuance of the laws imposing restrictions on the importation of foreign corn, and humbly prayed that the same might be entirely repealed." The question that the minutes of the last meeting be con firmed, and the petition just read be adopted, was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. RODWELL said that one of the first duties of the Association should be to petition the Legislature for the adoption of Yote by Ballot. From the scenes which had occurred in that borough, and the many persecutions inflicted on tradesmen who had conscientiously exer cised their franchise, it was quite clear that the protec tion of such voissg was necessary. He would not tres pass farthcl , on their time, as the Gallant Colonel (Thomp son), was about to address them on the subject; but would conclude by proposing that a petition to this effect should be adopted. Col, TROMYSON then rose and was received with cheers. Ile said there was not one individual present who had not observed the great and flagrant evils experienced by those who either felt the necessity of voti ng aga i nst their con sciences, or who had r un the risk of letting their enemies see how they exercised their franchise.—(Hear, hear.) No thing could he plainer than that, if the voter was to be only the instrument in executing the will of other parties, and that the 'saw had given no means o.f ascertaining who thwo ether parties were, such a mode of conducting an election was not only irregular, but contrary to the inten tion of the community.,—,( Hear, hear.) It was necessarb then, that something should be d to protect the honest man in, the exercise of his franchise from the Pers e F u . - tion of his enemies. The only serious objection which had been urge,l against the Ballet was, that there were unrepresented cl asses who possessed () Tea t influence with the xotert. N ow , he world as k , w i l y did these classes desire to influence these voters ? 'Why, for no other reason but because they thought themselves oppressed. On examining the question, however, they would see that the adrantage possessed by their enemies, from the system of open voting, was greater than any that could be derived by the people from the exercise of any improper influ ence.—(Hear, hear.) The system of tie Ballot, which was highly practicable even in its mechanical parts, would not only obviate the sufferings to which the honest voters had been exposed, but would seriously check the I progress of corruption ; for who, he would ask, would be foolish enough to expend their money illegally when they had no security that the creature who was base enough to ' take a bribe, would do the dirty work in return ?—(Cheers.) • In the many objections which had been made to the Ballot there was one thing very obvious, viz , that the opposition to the measure came from those who were most eager to apply the Ballot when their own interests or wishes were concerned.—(Hear.) Let them look to the clubs of the aristocracy, and they would find that when they wished to exclude a disagreeable or bad member of society, the system of the Ballot was invariably had recourse toe—. (Cheers.) In his opinion, nothing could be clearer than that they were bound by their dearest political interests to urge forward in the attainment of this important right. Mr. G. A. YOUNG said he felt it to be almost unnecessary to offer any observations in support of the argument which had just been used by Colonel Thompson to show the utility of using every means to obtain Vote by Ballot, as he found that the meeting was all of one mind as to the achievement of that system of voting. It would influence and conduce much to the energy by which he should bring forward ar guments in favour of the Ballot, if any person could be found who would oppose his opinions on that subject. H© considered that the question bad been fairly put by Colonel Thompson whether the present system of voting was one that should he countenanced by the people of this country. He knew of nowhere that the privilege of voting ought legi timately to rest but with the majority of the people, and that right was not at present sufficiently extended. It had been said that the practice of voting by Ballot was an un- English one—that it was a practice which would demo ralise the country. But he would ask, was there nothing demoralising in the present system of voting ? \Vas there nothing in the bribery and corruption which was constantly put in requisition at elections, which was not demoralising in the extreme ?—(Hear, hear.) That was the system which the Legislature offered to conti nue. VVas it not un•English for a man to be dragged up to the poll to record his own degradation by voting against his inclination, and to record the falsehood which be means to tell in the face of his country ? Vote by Ballot was the only means by which the rights and privileges of the people could be secured, and he would give that prin ciple of voting his best and warmest support.—(Cheers.) It was then proposed and adopted that monthly meeting s of the Association should be held, and that on the evening of the second Tuesday in January, a lecture shorlld be delivered by Colonel Thompson on the subject of Cora Laws, and a lecture by Mr. G. A. Young, on the causes of the Polish revolution. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, Mr. Young, and to Colonel Thompson, for their assistance in forwarding the objects of the Association ; after which the meeting separated. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, DEL% 4. CHARNEAU V, RILEY. This bill was filed by the next of kin of Robert Berth°. mier against the defendant, William Felix alley, to have set aside a certain indenture of release, ev4ecuted to Riley, dated in March, 1834, and to have the personal estat e o f the test a t or di s t r ib ute d . Th e bi ll PAlemed that the testator Berthomier, at the time of his death, was domiciled in France, and the answer alleged that he was domiciled in England. Mr. COOPER, who appeared for the plaintiff, admitted the allegation in the answer that the testator at the time of his death was domiciled in England. He, therefore, trusted that he might be suffered to proceed on that understanding as if the fact had been so originally stated in the bill. If not, ho trusted that he might have leave to withdraw the allegation, or to alter the record, or to file a supplemental bill. Air. PEMBERTON, who appeared for the defendant, said that he could not agree to such a course of proceeding. He would consent to allow a reference to the Master, for the purpose of inquiring into the question of the domicile. His LORDSHIP said he could not allow the bill t j be amended, but he would direct a reference to the Ma;t er t o inquire into the question of the domicile, and as to w:no were the next of kin. The case might be mentioned again this day week. COURT OF Q UEEN'S BENCH, D„ . 4. BRIGGS V. AYNSWORTH. Our report of this trial yesterday left. klie Jury in deli beration.

The action was brought by the plaintiffs, linen-drapers and silk mercers in Regent-street, to recover 251. for goods which had been purchased of them by the defendant, and 31. odd for interest, to which the defendant had pleaded that she, was an infant. The question was, whether the articles such as a satin mantilla, a white muslin dress, &c., which the defendant had purchased of the plaintiffs, were ne cessary and proper for her, the law declaring that an infant shall only be liable for such things as are necessary. On the part of the defendant, it was contended that there was no evidence that the defendant was possessed of any pro perty ; and if she were not, then these articles could only be regarded as extravagances. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE summed up the case, and the Jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 251. EXCHEQUER COURT, DEc. 4. HUGHES V. QUENTIN, BART. This action was brought to recover compensation for damage done to the cart of the plaintiff, by the improper driving of the defendant, on the Bth of July.

At the rising of the Court yesterday, Mr. CooKE ap plied, on the part of a prisoner in Dorchester Gaol, to be discharged on bail. The Learned Counsel referred to the several clauses, and said A Commissioner on Circuit had as much power as the Court. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN said, with respect to bail, it was not so. There was no power in the Act under which the Court could assist persons in country prisons, unless the sureties came to the Court in London. He regretted the clause was defective. It had been reviewed with delibera tion by all the Commissioners, and they had come to a C 011.• elusion on the subject.—Application refused. CRIMINAL COURT.-(TUESDAY.) OLD COURT. CHARGE or FRAUD. —Joseph Alexander Trevethen, a respectable-looking man, was indicted for obtaining 1701. worth of wine, the property of Charles Henry Ramsbottom. The RECORDER did not think the defence which the prisoner made a valid one, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Six months' hard labour. This being the last case for trial, the RECORDER pro ceeded to pass sentence on the following prisoners : Transportation for Seven Years—Frederick Pierce. James Garrett, and Henry Matthews. Imprisonment for One Year—John Thompson, William Smith, George Wilson, and James Young, Four other prisoners were sentenced to more limited. periods of imprisonment. The Court stands adjourned until Monday week, the 17th of December. NE . CONSPIRACY.-.A NE S T O OF SwlNDLErts.—Ann Nor man, alias Streeton, alias Hathaway, aged 49, widow; Mary Ann Grafton, 21, spinster ; Charles Foster, 18, shoemaker ; Thomas Guy, alias :rohn Thompson, 48, drap er ; an d J o h n Hobbs, 28, beer-shop keeper, were in dicted, together with Win. Thomas, alias Bond, who lately died in Newgate, for unlawfully conspiring together, and by sundry arts, stratagems, and representations, getting into their possession divers goods and chattels of divers persons, to wit, John Pontifex and oothers.The usual evidence in cases of swindling was adduced; and the Jury found all the prisoners The LEARNED JUDGE said he should make a great dis tinction between the girl and boy on account of their youth, and the possibility that they Lad been the tools of others. The sentence upon Mary Ann Grafton, and Charles Foster was, that they be confined in the Penitentiary for six calen dar months. The LEARNED JUDGE inquired if anybody was in Court who knew anything about the other three prisoners, as lie had reason to think some of them had been before con victed. Inspector Tadman said that Norman and Foster (sup posed to be mother and son) were o:►ce at Hatton-garden on a charge of swindling ; the boy was dressed in livery. He also stated that Thompson had been before convicted, and sentenced to transportation. He put in a petition in that prisoner's 6 m;-writing, praying a mitigation of punishment. The senterce Was, that they be imprisoned in the Mill• bank Penitentiary for the term of two years. BOOTH'S GIN PALACE, &c. This day was published, price Is. CHOICE SPIRITS ; or, the PALACE of GIN.
